Case Studies

We pride ourselves on good relations with our customers which often results in them choosing HICL as their go-to reliable builders for future projects. 

Extension, Renovation & Conversion

An existing customer, who had originally used our services in 2010 to build his own home extension and loft conversion, called upon HICL again to convert a garage at the same property. 

Whilst this work was underway, he approached us about another property in need of renovation to build a rear kitchen extension. The customer was so pleased with HICL’s continued commitment and quality of work, the project soon developed into a full internal refurbishment throughout the house and the construction of an en suite loft conversion.

Internal Refurbishment & Extension

HICL carried out an internal refurbishment project in Surbiton, which involved the removal of a load bearing wall to create a more spacious, open plan kitchen diner, the fitting of a new staircase and decorating throughout the house.

Impressed with HICL’s efficiency and quality of work, our customer enquired about an extension that he was considering. Our second proposal included all the elements required to complete the project. Our customer now enjoys a single storey rear extension which has transformed his whole home and compliments the initial work carried out.
